Stop Motion Animation Kit Software with Full HD 1080P Camera and Book (Windows and OS X)

I think this book is absolutely wonderful. The book gives tons of information on how to make sets, on animating tips, and much, much more. I was, however, disappointed with the program itself. When I bought it I thought that you took the pictures and added effects and everything else directly from stopmotionexplosion. I didn't realize that you had to download another program for that. And it proved to be more frustrating than, say, ikitmovie4. (Note, I am a beginner in the computer world and some may think I'm off the hook or something. I just found it hard, as a beginner, to make proper movies.) So, I think it would be great for someone who knows how to use Windows Movie Maker or another program like that. But if you're a beginner like me, I would suggest something different. I also ended up with a faulty camera which proved to be a problem;l however, they said that they would send me another one and I would like to thank stopmotionexplosion for their excellent customer service.

I purchased this for my 7 and 10 year old boys. They have already made a couple of movies with it and have plans for many more. We're definitely going to get our moneys worth in terms of hours of entertainment. The SW is pretty easy to use. It's easy for both of my boys to take frames, but as far as putting them together into a movie I usually have to get involved. But that's not very time-consuming. The included book and quick-start guides are helpful. The camera is decent quality. You are going to need a stable place to mount it to make good movies. Customer support is great. I had an issue with the camera and sent StopMotion Explosion an email on a Sunday afternoon. I got a response within an hour, and a new camera within 4 business days. Service like that counts for a lot in my book. Bottom line: My kids enjoy this product and I feel like I got my money's worth.

This software is easy to set up and use. My 10 year old has been using his old tablet to make stop motion videos and this is a huge improvement for him! He is able to easily log on and take higher quality pictures and turn them into film much easier. There are fun sound effects and lots of tips in the book. It came with a CD to download the program but luckily offered an online download too, as the laptop he is using has no CD drive.this just made it even easier! Overall, a great product, well priced for what you get, and very easy to use for my 10 year old!

This camera was very easy to set up. Downloaded the software, plugged it in, and we were making movies. It does come with a sound program. I did look at it, but it looks like it might be a little tricky. Definitely need to read up on the instructions before we add any sound to our growing selection of movies.

The camera is nice and really the only thing we use from this kit. There were too many different things to download and for a beginner it felt like too much. We ended up downloading a stop motion app but still used the camera.
